application filed September 12, 1918, serial No.

To all 11*]: out it may concern:

Be it known that I, VVILLIAM A. FRY, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Nashville, inthe county of Davidson and State of Tennessee, have invented new and useful Improvements in Combination Beds, Tables, and Cabinets, of which the following is a specification.

An important object of the invention is to provide in a combination bed, table and cabinet a means whereby the various elements thereof may be folded into a compact form when not in use.

A further object of the invention is to provide in a device of the above mentioned character a means whereby the table element thereof may serve as an adequate support for the bed, making possible the utilization of the table support or legs, thereby eliminating the necessity of providing the bed with legs or supporting elements.

A further object of the invention is to provide a furnishing which is attractive in appearance and having its various compartments readily accessible and to combine. these desirable features with durability.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent during the course of the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings.

in the drawings, forming a part of this which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same,

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device embodying my invention, the various movable elements thereof being shown as folded in a compact form,

Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the same, the table element thereof being shown as moved to a horizontal position,

Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the bed element folded to a horizontal position and supported by the table element, and,

Fig. 4 is a sectional view of a detachable leg or table supporting means.

In the drawings, wherein is shown a preferred form of my invention, the numeral 5 indicates a cabinet provided with a plurality of compartments 6 which are closed by means of closures 7 hingedly connected it to the cabinet 5 as shown at 8. These closures may be provided with glass panels or other material depending somewhat upon the requirements and therefore discretion in this connection may be used by the Specification of Letters Patent.

manufacturer. One end of the cabinet 5 is provided with a compartment 9 which is designed particularly for the reception of larger objects than those which the compartments 6 are adapted to receive. The compartment 9 is provided with a door or closure 10 which is hingedly connected to the cabinet as shown at 11. The door or closure 10 like the closures may be pro vided with a glass panel as shown or as explained in connect'on with closure 7 may be readily constructed from other desirable material. Within the lower portion of the cabinet 5 a plurality of longitudinally movable receptacles 12 are arranged and in proximity to these receptacles a compartment, not shown, may be provided having a closure 13. a

To the cabinet 5 there is connected a movable section 14 by means of hinges 15, the movable section 14 being held in a vertical position as clearly shown in Figs. 1 and 2 by means of sliding lock bolts 16. To one edge of the section 14 there is connected a table leaf or second section 17 by This table leaf 17 is adapted to be secured in a vertical position as shown in Fig. 1 by means of sliding lock bolts 19 similar to those indicated by the numeral 16. The table leaf when released from the'rvertical position shown in Fig. 1 may be moved to a horizontal position as shown in Fig. 2 and supported by sectiona-l legs 20 comprising sections 21 and 22, the sections 21 being threaded within sockets 23 carried by the table leaf while the section 22 is threaded to the section 21 as will be readily understood when considering Fig. 4. To one side of the movable section 14 there is connected at bedstead comprising elongatedbed supporting bars 24, directly attached to section 14 and carrying a conventional type of fabric25 on which is a mattress 26. This bedstead is retained in a vertical position by means of sliding bolt locks 16 as is ap- ,-parent, independent of any position to which the table leaf 17 may be moved. By moving the section 14 to a horizontal position as shown in Fig. 3 the bedstead is simultaneously moved to a similar position and is consequently supported by the table leaf 17 which in this ition employs only the sections 21 of the l g s 20 as a means of support- In position the elongated bars 24 rest directly on and are supported by the second section 17. I The sections 22 having been detached from the sections 21 may be hereinbefore referred to and again connected to the sections 21 when it is desired toemploy only the table feature in which instance only the table leaf 17 is retained in a horizontal position as shown in Fig. 2.

It is to be understood that the form of my invention herewith shown and described is to be taken as a preferred example-of the same, and that various changes in the shape,

size and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the'sub? joined claim.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure and rotect by Letters Patent of the United ta is:

A combination bed, table and cabinet com- \prisingafirstsectionhingedtothecabi-i stored away in any one of the compartments net, a second section to the first section, elongated bed supporting bars mounted upon and rigidly connected to the inner face of the first section, thesecond section forming a closure forthe cabinet and adapt-- ed to be moved first to a table position and subsequently to a bed supporting position, the second named section being adapted to be retained in a vertical position or moved independently of the bed support' bars to a horizontal position whereby it serve respectively as a closure for the cabinet and a supporting means for the bed supporting bars, the bed supporting bars being adapted to lie flat upon the second section when in a horizontal position. a
